Poise...

... amongst a chaotic sea of street furniture and signage.

There's something quite calming about a cyclist walking his/her bike looking for parking, in contrast with the hustle and bustle of traffic speed and noise.

Over the tramways

Spotted in Manchester City Centre by Alan, these chic cyclists braved crossing the tram tracks! But with style and aplomb nothing can stop them.

Bike babble: Richey

 

Richey, Piccadilly Gardens

Hello! What bike are you riding?

A York Free Spirit. I've not seen many of them about, and I'm not sure if that's because there's not many of them or because nobody wants one.

And where are you going today?

I'm going home to south Manchester. I've been out shopping in town today.

What's the best thing about cycling in Manchester?

The lack of hills.

What could be improved?
The existing cycling infrastructure... road markings could be more clearly illustrated, and I think the council has a long way to go in providing cycling facilities.
